I'm thinking about doing some paint fill and other tweaks to the appearance of my irons and wedges, especially the irons. I have the cast Nike CCi and would really like to remove some of the stickers from the cavity to make them look more like the forged CCi as I think they look cleaner. What would *really* be sweet is to remove both black stickers and then paint the raised swoosh, and have a clean chrome pocket.

I've tested a few things on a spare club and none have worked. Acetone/Goo Gone didn't even dent it, and going after them with a razor blade or sharp knife will just scratch the chrome up. Any ideas for lifting these decals off cleanly? Note that I'm not talking about the insert that says "CCi", just the two black stickers towards the topline.

My club:

I would advise against it. It is possible that you will effect the swing weight of the club by removing weight. It is also possible that the sticker hides something unsightly. You might void the warranty by removing it. Finally, the resale value will certaintly take a hit if you modify the clubs (if that is important to you)

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Not really concerned about resale value, but do you really think that these stickers would impact swing weight in a significant way? I'm honestly asking, not being a jerk ;)

I have callaway clones (Grand Hawk XP24) and the sticker on the back of those is quite thick, and I would think that removing that would remove a few grams from the head of the club. The good news is that if you did it to all of them, you would be consistently removing the same amount from each club.

I honestly didn't consider that, so thanks for bringing it up. Maybe I'll stick to just doing a paint fill.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
